The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

Despite the crushing defeat and being driven out of his lair, Zheng Pi was prepared to flee and hide in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, but he was not too worried.

Annan had been separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years and had long formed its own unique folk customs. From the kings and ministers to the common people, no one necessarily wanted to become a part of the Central Plains.

Otherwise, did the Meng court lose Annan simply because of incompetent officials and corrupt governance?

"King of Dian, just take your time to be proud."

"You will soon find that your joy is premature, and uprisings and rebellions will break out everywhere."

"And you will be running around, exhausted..."

The eight million loyal and brave men mentioned by Zheng Chui are exactly every citizen of Annan.

When everyone stands up to resist the rule of the King of Dian, the Meng army will no longer have a foothold in Annan.

"When you are exhausted, financially drained, and depleted, that's when I will strike back!"

"We'll see!"

After saying that, Zheng Pi turned around and left resolutely.

In fact, what he is more worried about now is the royal family of the Later Le Dynasty causing trouble -

Although Zheng Pi was the Lord of Zheng and had the power to appoint and dismiss officials, collect taxes, conscript conscripts, and govern the people, and his position was hereditary, he was ultimately just a powerful minister. After all, there was an emperor above him.

So he called his confidants.

"You guys, make sure to assign people and keep a close eye on those people..."

In fact, just as Zheng Pi guessed, the royal family of the Later Le Dynasty had become restless.

Among them, Princess Li Yiyi was the worst.

"What a great opportunity."

"I never thought that Lord Zheng, who was once so powerful, would one day become a stray dog."

"The might of the heavenly soldiers is like a prison and an ocean."

"Princess." The royal family of the Le Dynasty, who were connected by Li Yiyi, were eager to try.

"Should we try to contact the Heavenly King and borrow the Heavenly Army to drive out the Zheng family?"

"If success is achieved, the country and the people will be..."

“Don’t be too happy too soon.

"However, facing the excited royal family of the Le Dynasty, Li Yiyi first poured a bucket of cold water on them.

"Lord Zheng is indeed arrogant and domineering."

"But the King of Heaven, is he necessarily our ally?"

"Don't forget, the last time the Meng army arrived in Annan, they said they were helping the Chen clan restore their country."

"But in reality, it harbored evil intentions and swallowed Annan whole."

"If our ancestors had not upheld justice and fought back"

"I'm afraid Annan has become part of the Central Plains now."

Chapter 809-True Eight Million

Everyone looked at each other.

They had to admit that what Li Yiyi said made some sense.

At the beginning of the Meng Dynasty, the Prime Minister of Annan killed the Emperor of Annan and usurped the throne. He also deceived Emperor Chengzu of Meng Dynasty by saying that the Chen family of the Annan royal family had no descendants.

Unexpectedly, the descendants of Chen later fled to Meng State. Meng Chengzu, who discovered the truth, sent people to escort them back to the country to restore their throne.

But the usurper was so bold that he slaughtered all the Chen family members and their envoys.

Emperor Chengzu was furious and sent troops to attack. Later, because the Chen family had no descendants and Annan was the former Central Plains, he took it under his direct jurisdiction.

But this behavior is very eye-catching in the eyes of the Annan people.

It's clearly like driving out the wolf from the front door and welcoming the tiger from the back door.

So if they welcome Shu Yichao now, will the same situation occur as before?

By then, let alone regaining the throne, I'm afraid he won't even be able to become a puppet emperor.

"Or-----" Li Yiyi said.

"Let's first find a way to send an envoy and make some private contact."

"Let's see what conditions the King is willing to offer."

"If the conditions are right, we can serve as their vanguard and pay tribute."

The royal family of the former Le Dynasty had their every move closely monitored.

But now the country is in chaos and the Zheng family's strength has been severely weakened. Countless forces are planning to leave a way out. Even if Zheng Pi wants to stop them from colluding secretly, he really can't do it.

Therefore, a new event soon popped up in front of Shu Yichao.

but……

Generally, such political negotiations will go through many rounds.

Both sides will ask for exorbitant prices and pay back the money on the spot.

The result was that Li Yiyi subconsciously made a huge request.

So Shu Yichao was amused.

Not only did Shu Yichao have to restore the royal status of the Li family, but the entire army had to withdraw after defeating the Zheng family and could not stay for more than a day.

All he got in return was Li's verbal submission, but he still called himself emperor internally.

At the same time, Annan did not assume any obligations. When to pay tribute and when to trade were all decided by Annan.

otherwise……

Otherwise, the loyal and brave men of Annan will rise up and turn this land into a sad place where the Meng army will shed blood and tears.

She advised Shu Yichao to think it over carefully.

"No, what the hell are these?"

Shu Yichao was speechless for a while.

"You still dare to threaten me?"

The territory that players ask him to conquer has an abstract beauty no matter how you look at it.

I worked so hard to get this beautiful and perfect layout, and you still want to change it to other colors?

How many dishes are there to drink like this?

Shu Yichao refused directly.

"roll! "

Whatever I shoot down is mine!

"From today on, the position of King Annan will be abolished."

"This place is now renamed Jiaozhi Province."

Shu Yichao's refusal soon reached the ears of the Li royal family.

"This this……"

The Li royal family, who were previously enthusiastic, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Princess, you're right."

They said with a sad face.

"The King of Dian has no intention of helping us restore our country."

With the heavenly army pressing in from outside and the Zheng family hindering them from inside, and now they are in exile everywhere, the situation is extremely bad no matter how you look at it.

"He is indeed a man with wicked ambitions."

But Li Yiyi seemed very confident.

"But don't be discouraged."

"This may not be bad news."

"...Ah?" The Li royal family members opened their mouths wide, not understanding what Li Yiyi meant.

Li Yiyi then began to analyze it for them.

First of all, her judgment is the same as Zheng Pi's.

Shu Yichao might be able to occupy Annan, but he cannot rule it.

The repeated resistance and the huge military expenditure incurred to suppress the rebellion would drag him down.

Therefore, defeating the Meng army is only a matter of time.

Then, as long as the Li royal family can drive out the Meng army once more like their ancestors, they will gain unparalleled prestige and hold great power.

Secondly, Zheng Pi has been greatly weakened. Facing a powerful enemy, he will have to cooperate with the Li royal family in a sincere and united manner, otherwise he will be directly eliminated by Shu Yichao.

His son used tens of thousands of severed heads from Annan to build an elite army for Jingguan, demonstrating how tragic the end would be.

Zheng Qiu is a smart man and he would understand this.

"That's the way it is."

"We're going to do it now."

"It's about contacting powerful people from all over the place, conducting guerrilla warfare from various places, and harassing the cute bandits."

"Then wait patiently and accumulate strength in secret"

"Wait for both Zheng and the King of Dian to suffer heavy losses."

"After they all fail."

It is the time for the King of the Li family to return!!

Li Yiyi planned very well.

It's a little different from the actual situation.

After all, the eight million troops mentioned by Zheng Chui were just for fun.

That is a number that would have to be doubled after taking into account the entire population of Annan.

But Shu Yichao's eight million strong army...

That’s a real number!!

"Today we raise an army to fight back against the cute thieves!"

Just as Zheng Chui and Li Yiyi had expected, Shu Yichao's act of abolishing the vassal state and re-establishing Jiaozhi Province soon angered a large number of local powerful people.

With the endorsement of the Li royal family, they purchased weapons, formed troops, and announced an uprising to expel the Meng army.

then……

Before people gathered, a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in the distance.

"Oh no!"

"The grass-roots soldiers are coming!"

The gathered soldiers let out shrill screams.

"How is it possible!?"

The local tyrants who were holding a ceremony to worship the sky and trying to rally the people's hearts almost popped their eyes out.

The emperor is far away and there is no official power in his broken place on weekdays. Therefore, after Shu Yichao occupied Annan, he intended to raise an army to get a share of the pie in this chaotic world.

But unexpectedly, just as the rebellion started, the grass-roots soldiers came to attack.

Is the king so well-informed?

Or did you reveal the traitor?
